Summary tables as an API overview

I’ve just noticed that the contents page itself in “The Standard Python Library” now has all the individual built in functions and constants listed:

This is terrible, IMO, as it makes the contents page much harder to use as a navigation page, which is my main use for it. I now have to scroll down past the builtin functions (that I rarely need) to get to the module listing that I use many times a day.

Is there anywhere that the justification for this change has been recorded, so that I can register my objection, or is this thread the correct place? I would really like this change to be reverted :slightly_frowning_face:
